TORONTO, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Canada's main stock market in Toronto advanced on Tuesday, as gains in Financials and Information Technology sectors overcame slumping energy stocks.

The Financials and Information Technology groups saw the biggest gains on the day, moving up 0.61 percent and 0.60 percent, respectively.

The TSX Financials group, which accounts for the largest weight in the index, was aided by the country's biggest banks on the day.
